alright, so here is what's going on. i talked to the transmission guy. he says that he wouldn't have taken the starter out when pulling the transmission and has no responsibility for the starter brace not being attached. however, he did agree that he should have inspected the flywheel to...

thanks for the input. i do have the manuals and will go through them to double check the starter placement. i also have the part numbers for the starter bolts and the new brace, if i go with a new gear reduction starter. i'll talk to the transmission guy tomorrow and see what he has to say...

hey guys! have an issue i need some advice on. about two months ago, i had my transmission rebuilt. everything went really well with that, but about a week after i noticed a screeching sound on startup. it was brief and started up fine after that. everything was normal for a while, so...

Update Thought I would get an update out for anyone else who might be having similar problems. So, as I mentioned, I got a new modulator (side of trans) w/ adjustable screw. I replaced all of the rubber lines. Since then, I removed the regulator (tps), cleaned it and reinstalled almost all...

i hear you on the tps. i haven't checked it, but as i mentioned mine was bypassed when i got it. i have around 12k miles on it the way it is and it seems to work fine. so what changed in the last week?

the trans fluid and filter has only 3k miles. since the pan was dropped and filter was changed i have noticed an occasional lag in gears. when i would first start off from my house up a small hill to a stop sign. i would stop and then try to start again and there would be a slight lag for the...

Hey Guys, Have a question. I've put about 12k miles on my m1009 and everything has run fine. In the last week or two, it has developed the standard rough/late shift. It wants to shift out of first somewhere between 25-33, but 2nd is still fine. On my truck, the regulator was already...

i didn't see anything about this so far, but air in the fuel line is a common problem and makes starting these things seem impossible. one easy way to tell, is when the engine is cold, open the bleed valve on the filter housing and see if fuel comes out. if so, you have some pressure. if not...

Hey guys, I pulled my spare tire rack and the power point located on the wall behind the passenger seat that was used for the radio power out of my 1009. I am happy to offer them up to anyone who would like them for a trade, or whatever, plus shipping. All I really need is to make an adapter...

I am thinking about doing something stupid and looking for some feedback. Has anyone previewed Barstow for the GL auction ending today? Just curious about the general shape of trucks coming out of there. Thanks

I had the exact same problem, squeaking belts and all. Starts right away, dies. It usually takes two sets of good cranking with the pedal down to get it to fire after that. I just replaced all of my belts and was pretty sure I had them at the right tension. Eventually, my new belts settled a...

I had the exact same problem. Starts right away, dies. It usually takes two sets of good cranking with the pedal down to get it to fire after that. I did two things and she fires right up now. Changed the fuel filter and bled according to the manual. I am pretty sure that I had a bit of air...

electric pump what does 6-10 psi look like coming out of a pump?...ballpark I ask because after finally tracking down some fuel related starting issues i can understand why having an electric pump, on a switch, can be a huge help in certain situations. I was given a pump that my friend used...

There is a 12 volt tie in point on the firewall on the driver's side, just to the left of the brake booster (looking from the front of the truck). This is where all of the vehicles accessories are tied into. The bus bar on left is 24 volt, top is hot, the bottom is ground.
